Public Policy

First let me give you some background on the current situation.

About five months ago I got a job in the public sector, a tribunal which caters for all types of ridiculous disputes. I was lucky enough to find a place to work where my dad also worked and I really did enjoy it. I was thorough, quick friendly and I was making friends. I was told how well I work by my supervisors blah blah blah...

A week ago my boss comes to me and completely out of the blue tells me that after my current casual contract runs out I can no longer work at the tribunal because it is against public policy to employ the offspring of those working higher up. Which at first I could understand...

That was all until today, when In met the girl who would be replacing me...more or less...

What annoyed me was the fact that she could hardly speak english, she couldnt type and she didnt say a word... So you tell me whether it is fair that I, an english speaking,quick typist who already understands the work should lose my job because Im related to someone who works there.And this girl,who will quite certainly fail at the job should get to replace me...

This is not a race issue... I am just upset that I would do a better job than her yet she gets to be the one who works there...

That is all
